Correlates of Recovery from Substance Use Disorders

A sample of 263 respondents from 2 recovery networks were surveyed to explore the role recovery capital contributed to their recovery. Recovery capital was conceptualized as social support, affiliation with 12-step groups (e.g., Alcoholics Anonymous), spirituality, and respondents’ financial situation. It was hypothesized that greater levels of recovery capital are associated with higher levels of alcohol or drug abstinence self-efficacy. Findings revealed that recovery capital is a statistically significant predictor of alcohol and drug abstinence self-efficacy. Given the salience in positively influencing ongoing substance use recovery, the authors promoted the idea that social workers should be educated on the construct of recovery in its relevance to practice
